class="type-12"> 1735: Labour and the Conservatives haven't been able to set out their own agendas and talk about their policies because they've had their agendas dictated to them by Nick Clegg, says the BBC's chief political correspondent Laura Kuenssberg. The Tories, in particular, have shown just how worried they are with their Hung Parliament Party stunt. If they really were as confident of victory as they say, they wouldn't be pouring their energies into this.
1728: "The most important thing is how to stop the Tories winning", Peter Hain, Welsh Secretary, tells the BBC. He appeals to "the great decent majority" in marginal seats to vote Labour - even if you don't agree with everything they've done - because on the "great areas of political reform", like the need to delay big public spending cuts, the Lib Dems, Greens, Plaid and SNP all agree.
